Came out nice.

With this looks who needs it to play! It's just too much!
Looks really good!! Were you able to get it working?

still waiting on the resistors. One resistor is busted in half so I have no idea if it works or not. I really hope I rewired it right.
Kirk
Good luck then and keep us posted.

OR, I always thought spraying lacquer was best at temps above 65F and humidity below 65%. No blush problems when you sprayed when it was cold? Thanks!
Bob,
I keep the lacquer and the cabinet inside and then bring it out to spray. It was almost 50+ today so that was even better.
Ok wait that was yesterday, I did all the waxing today but it was also 50+ today.
Nice work! What kind of wax did you use on the PT-69?
Johnsons paste wax in the yellow can. there are many others.
Very nice, I have always been on the lookout for a Philco woodden clock radio at the swaps. She came out all purdy.

Thanks for the info! I have a few cabinets waiting for restoration (and warmer weather) so I've been using this time to read up and learn before I begin working on them.

Got my toner today!
Back to work and it is kinda warm and sunny!
I think I bought enough this time
Got my 38-62 out for toning today: I also decided to darken the curved veneer on the 38-62.
let me know what you think..
I tried a new rattle can spray on the 38-62. It was called pottery glaze.
It scared me at first but is it too glossy?

I have added the 41-22CL to the resto chronicles to save room on the forums so I stripped her, grain filled her and added perfect brown (only a few coats) and now I have to put on the decals. Then to make the new dial cover mold.
Does anyone have an extra broadcast/police decal I can buy?
Ill ask on the wanted ads.
Here is the progress:
